DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For a better understanding of the technical features, objects and effects of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiments of the foldable wrapping paper of the present invention are described in detail below, and the examples of the embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions.

In the description of the foldable wrapping paper of the present invention, it is to be understood that the orientation or positional relationship of the terms “front”, “back”, “upper”, “lower”, “upper end”, “lower end”, “upper part”, “lower part”, etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are merely for the convenience of the description of the invention and the simplified description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to has a specific orientation, for construction and operation, therefore it is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Moreover, the terms “first”, “second”, etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

It is shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b an embodiment of a foldable wrapping paper of the present invention. In this embodiment, the foldable wrapping paper comprises wrapping paper body 100, wrapper paper body 100 comprises easy-to-tear folding lines 101. The easy-to-tear folding lines 101 are provided with a plurality of perforations 102 extending through the wrapping paper body 100, and the easy-to-tear folding lines 101 divide the wrapping paper body 100 into a plurality of basic units 110. The number and position of the easy-to-tear folding lines 101 can be designed according to the area of the wrapping paper body 100 and the area of a single basic unit 110.

The perforations 102 of the easy-to-tear folding lines 101 may be evenly or unevenly distributed, but preferably evenly distributed. The perforations 102 may be circular or elongated, and the number of perforations 102 per inch on the easy-to-tear folding lines may be 12 or others, and the size of the perforations 102 along the easy-to-tear folding lines may be 1 mm or other dimensions.

It should be understood that the size of the perforations 102 can be set as needed to ensure a reliable connection and easy-to-tear construction between the basic units 110. The easy-to-tear folding lines 101 are easily torn, and the wrapping paper body 100 can be easily torn along the easy-to-tear folding lines 101 without the need of tools such as scissors or a paper cutter. The basic units 110 are squares or rectangles of the same size. However, the shapes of the basic units 110 may also be different, but preferably the shapes be the same.

When in the folded state, the wrapping paper body 100 is folded along the easy-to-tear folding lines 101 into a shape of one or more basic units 110, for example, can be folded into one basic unit, two basic units, three basic units, and four basic units or other number of basic units, for the convenience for storage.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the unfolded state, one or more of the basic units 110 can be torn from the wrapping paper body 100 along the easy-to-tear folding line and detached from the wrapping paper body 100, which the size of the torn portion sufficiently meets the packaging needs of the packaged item 201, 202. The wrapping paper body 100 can be made of paper of 80 g/m² to 120 g/m². Alternatively, the wrapper body 100 can also be made of other conventionally suitable papers. The number of basic units 110 on the wrapping paper body 100 can be set as needed, such as an array of 4×6, 2×4, or the like.

Referring to FIG. 3, the basic units 110 of the foldable wrapping paper of the present invention can be used for packaging or as an origami, and also for a variety of uses. Referring to FIG. 4, the foldable wrapping paper of the present invention can also be used as a poster 300.

The foldable wrapping paper of the present invention can be folded into a smaller size and can be opened to a larger size. The entire sheet of foldable wrapping paper has easy-to-tear folding lines 101, and the wrapping paper body 100 can be easily torn into several sections as needed. The perforations and materials of the wrapping paper body 100 are folded over each other such that wrinkles do not occur on the wrapping paper body 100 when the sheets are opened to full size. To some extent, the wrapping paper body 100 is like a full page of stamps, where the stamps are printed and joined together by perforations that separate the stamps. However, if the stamp is folded into a smaller size and then opened, the entire page of the stamps may not lay flat because the edge of the folded perforations is somewhat pointed. Unlike stamps, this wrapping paper body does not have sharp edges when opened to full size.

Existing wrapping papers typically need to be wrapped and stored in a tube or hung on a shelf. This may occupy too much storage and display areas, especially for retail stores and homes. However, the foldable wrapping paper of the present invention can be folded to save storage space and to make the remaining paper tidier. Due to the presence of easy-to-tear folding lines, the user does not create irregular shapes that may be difficult to reuse later, all remaining basic units can still be used to package other suitable objects or served as origami.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive, and those skilled in the art in the light of the present invention may make many forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
